Tue, 15 Aug 2017 07:55:31 GMTHowdy folks!

I'm curious if a solid Archie story exists out there where one creative team was on an Archie book (it could be Jughead, Betty and Veronica, Life with Archie, etc). and told a comprehensive story over the course of one to two years or so. Or at least one writer told a long-running story with one of/all of the characters.

This would exclude "the Death of Archie" series, "Jughead's Time Police," etc. I'm not looking for events, or niche titles. I'm looking for a good long-running Archie story where the characters are taken through some drama within the pages of one of the flagship books. Classic Archie with continuity.

If the kind of thing I'm looking for existed I anticipate it would have been published at some point between the mid-1980s and around 2005 or so. (Before the books began to struggle to find their footing).

I'd heard a rumor of a great run on Jughead that saw him going through some serious, well-grounded drama. Can't seem to dig it up though.

Would love suggestions.

Cheers!

Thu, 10 Aug 2017 19:25:48 GMTWell, the first issue of the latest The Shadow series (by Si Spurrier & Daniel HDR) was released this past Wednesday.

I looked it over at the store, but decided not to buy it.
One of the problems I had with it is that it's set in modern times (as opposed to back in the 20th century), and those stories with The Shadow don't always work for me. Also, it's hard to say how much of "The Shadow" we actually had in this story.

Did anybody buy an issue (or at least read it in its entirety in the store)?
What do other people think?

It's published by an Indie: American Mythology, who have been terrific to work with in getting this book out.

I've also designed it to be a backdoor pilot for an ongoing series that parallels the movie, but future books will depend on sales.

If you get a chance, please check it out -- It's my first comic book, and I'd love some feedback.

Thu, 03 Aug 2017 20:19:53 GMTSo ... actually I got hooked by the Pitiful Human Lizard series, and everyone ought to give that a try too. Recently they had a big alien fight (in Toronto, I think?) that crossed over multiple series, including Captain Canuck.

I'm having some trouble figuring out where all the series are at, in terms of issue number. (Die-hard collector here.) The Chapterhouse website seems to have less information than other places about upcoming issues in several series. I am having a real hard time telling if Chapterhouse's website is just not being updated, or if the other websites are posting bad info. Offline, I've been ordering them from the PREVIEWS order form each month, and I've been pretty careful looking so I don't miss them.

Specifically, I'm looking at Captain Canuck, All-New Classic Captain Canuck, Agents of PACT, and NorthGuard. Is anyone else collecting issues? Where are you at with these series?

Kieron Gillen unveils his epic new monthly series, launching with a special double-sized issue! 1945. Germany is in ruins. The war in the west can only be days away from ending. Threats of "wunderwaffen" to be unleashed by the dying Reich have become laughable. There are no miracle weapons here. It's over. It has to be over. It's not. There's been stories which have mixed enhanced humans and World War 2 before. There's never been one like this. See super beings in a whole new light as Gillen presents an epic new series that not only rewrites history, it redefines the genre. Superstar writer KIERON GILLEN (Invincible Iron Man, Uncanny X-Men) delivers a brutal alternate timeline tale of super humans first appearing during WW2. The Nazis have the Uber. The Allies don't.

Not because I wanted a free comic from them but because it was something to look forward to.

I think the story has lost it's focus since it switched companies and I really don't get the point of putting out Real Science Adventures with art that is so far below par that I have seen web comics with better art. It's not even just the characters or back ground it's the borders of the panels and the lettering, the balloons. It's like the bare minimum was put into these to fill some sort of obligation.

Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:43:59 GMTHello Everyone! I have a comic on kickstarters!

The story is entitled "Sinistre" [SIN-EES-TRA] it is a fantasy, adventure book.
The synopsis is as follows:
A trip to Africa quickly turns into a nightmare for the Sinistre
brothers who now have to face separate paths in which they must navigate through on their own. From embracing magical creatures and foreseeing unexplainable powers, the brothers will be tested, some more than their siblings. While embarking on what has turned from a trip to a life journey. Decisions must be made in which the existence of an entire village will depend on them. Choosing to be selfish or selfless will determine if their lives will forever be up in arms or if they find their way back home. Either way with each choice, each conversation, and each relationship made or severed they are creating their own destiny.
I appreciate the support!
